“It Had to Stop”: The Moral Collapse of Israel’s Most Experienced Drone Operator

A senior Israeli Air Force reserve officer, one of the country’s most experienced drone operators, died by suicide several months ago after suffering what colleagues described as unbearable moral distress from his role in the Gaza war.

“He said the war’s unforeseen consequences were unbearable and that it had to stop,”

“Dozens of operators have reported severe psychological symptoms, including nightmares, detachment, and suicidal thoughts,”

“The distance doesn’t protect them. It isolates them,”
